Tim rants about student loan debt being a trap, mocks his intern's communications degree, and riffs on how impossible it is to prepare kids for an AI-dominated future, tying into old Redeye stories.
- Tim on student loan forgiveness: burn in hell for the rest of your life if you got a degree in English, you loser.
- Tim has an intern in college for communications who will owe $320,000, and she's stupid for wanting to be Wendy Williams.
- He has a six-month-old kid he's taking care of on the other side of town.
- Tim says you can't prepare kids for the future because everything changes so fast—nobody knows what's coming.
- Tell them to take up robotics, but no one even knows if that's the move.
- He says he'll beat the game if he dies by any hand other than a robot.
- They keep making AI eyes because the people at the top want us gone.
